All that matters for Stu Thompson and Co. are the Western Mass. Championships Monday.

But along the way, Thompson and his Longmeadow High School golf team claimed the Valley Wheel title, by virtue of its 236-241 win over South Hadley Wednesday at Longmeadow Country Club.

"We are thinking about Western Mass., and hopefully moving on to states from there," Thompson said. "I had asked someone about the league, about what would happen if we beat South Hadley. They said it was for the league (title). The kids were like, 'What league?' The kids haven't gotten caught up in that."

The Lancers (13-3-1) finished at 8-2 in league play. Longmeadow last won the conference crown in 2004, when it went on to win its second straight state championship.

South Hadley (16-4, 7-3), the defending Western Mass. champion, had won 13 straight matches overall. It shared the Valley Wheel crown with East Longmeadow last fall.

Derek Smith led Longmeadow, which has won nine straight, with a 37. Colin Izzo added a 39 and five others shot 40.

Zach Garbacik led South Hadley with a 37, and Scott Rainaud added a 38.

Cathedral 242, Southwick 251: At Franconia GC in Springfield, the host Panthers (4-13) qualified for the Western Mass. Division II tournament. Cathedral qualified by virtue of a .500 or better record (2-1) against Division II foes.

Sean Kavanagh led the Panthers with a 37, and Ryan Dubay had a 39.

Joe Kucienski and Den Phelps had 41s for Southwick (6-12).

Chicopee 247, Comp 275: At Chicopee CC, D.J. Lavalley's season-low 1-under 35 and a 38 from John Sypek set the tone for the Pacers (3-17), who won three of their last five.
